About Jana

Jana Grooms is a licensed therapist who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She brings 22 years of clinical experience and listens with a steady, nonjudgmental manner. Her approach aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and begin to feel less overwhelmed.

Jana focuses on practical steps as well as understanding the deeper causes of distress. She draws on methods such as Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.

People often come to her for help with sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, coping with life changes, ADHD concerns, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to identity such as gender dysphoria or LGBT-related stress. She also supports those working through grief, abandonment, family of origin problems, and codependency.

Jana works in Florida and holds the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She speaks English. International clients are not accepted at this time. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How Jana’s approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and reactions today. It helps people understand patterns in close connections and learn different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and change behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to handle intense feelings and conflict more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jana will work together with the person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That collaborative planning can mean blending tools from different approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes regular skill practice and follow-up simpler between meetings, which many people find helpful when working on anxiety, trauma recovery, or behavior change.
